Children are encouraged to use their own imagination to find their painting "voice" or cre- ative style.

Nine years ago Barbara Morris (who is a Janet Turn- er Print Museum Board member and current outgoing president) felt that there were not enough arts programs offered in the summer in Chico for kids. She organized the first Janet Turner Print Museum Summer Art Acad- emy and it was a big hit. Ever since, in conjunction with faculty and students from the Chico State Art Department, and staff from the College of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Turner has offered an academy. This year’s Summer Art Academy will be offered July 25-29. There will be separate sessions for children, pre-teens, and ages 14 and older. Participants will explore printmaking, ceramics, painting, drawing, sculpture, collage and more. Classes are held on the CSU, Chico campus and lunches will be provided. Session A will be for kids 6-10 years of age and run Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Session B (ages 11-13) and Section C (14 years of age and older) will take place Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fri- day, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On Friday, July 29, the last day of the art academy, parents, friends, and other family members will be invited to an outdoor celebration where they will be able to view the art that was created during the week- long program. Cost for kids up to 10 years of age is $200; all oth- ers are $225 each. There is a $50 discount for a second family member. Art Department chair Teresa Cotner will be joined by fellow instructors Mike Murphy, a ceramic arts teacher at Chico State, and Linda Teddy, a recent grad- uate of the BA art education program and BA studio art program at CSU, Chico. Also assisting will be a num- ber of Chico State art majors. Each class will be limited to no more than 24 partic- ipants. The student to teacher ratio works out to about four or five students for every instructor and Chico State student intern. The Summer art Academy will be especially benefi- cial for kids who love making art and kids whose schools have not been able to offer a lot of quality art instruction because of budget cuts. “We love putting on the academy and working with the kids,” said Cotner. “And, of course, it is fun and a great learning experience for the Chico State student instructors. We offer kids experiences with art that they will not get at school, using new techniques in art that Chico State students bring to the lessons they develop and teach. Art should be a part of every child’s educa- tion and the Turner Art Academy helps make this pos- sible.” For more information, or to be sent a brochure and application form call 898-5331 or e-mail Cotner at tlcotner@csuchico.edu.
